Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

You kind of didn't capture the directions in your image, but it looks like maybe they want you to write the equation of the line.

So this is what you need to know: the equation of a vertical (up and down) line is

x = anumber

For future reference on the next question, the equation of a horizontal (flat, left and right) line is

y = anumber

For this question, though, it's vertical.

so x = -4

You can check by picking as many points as you like and find that they ALL have -4 as the x value. Also, you will find the slope formula gives you an answer that is undefined. That's why you can't write an equation using y=mx+b. Hope this helps! I can edit if the question is something wildly different for real.

2. XYZW is a parallelogram with diagonals XZ and YW that intersect at point A.

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

AW=10

Step-by-step explanation:

In a parallelogram opposite sides are congruent meaning XA and AZ are congruent. YA and AW are congruent. So...

Solving for XA and AZ

XA=AZ

3m=5m-4

-2m=-4

m=2

If YW=10m then 10 x 2 = 20

20 divided by 2 = 10

The length of a rectangle is three times its width. The perimeter of the rectangle is at most 112cm. Which inequality models the

miss Akunina [59]

Answer: w ≤ 14 cm , L ≤ 42 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

width (w): w

Length(L): 3w

Perimeter (P) = 2w + 2L

P ≤ 112

2w + 2L ≤ 112

2(w) + 2(3w) ≤ 112

2w + 6w ≤ 112

8w ≤ 112

w ≤ 14

A collection of 20 coins made up of only nickels, dimes, and quarters has a total value of $3.35. If the dimes were nickels, the

Kay [80]

Answer: The required number of quarters in the collection is 11.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that a collection of 20 coins made up of only nickels, dimes and quarters has a total value of $3.35.

If the dimes were nickels, the nickels were quarters and the quarters were dimes, the collection of coins would have a total value of $2.75.

We are to find the number of quarters in the collection.

Let x, y and z represents the number of nickels, dimes and quarters respectively in the collection.

We will be using the following values of nickels, dimes and quarters in form of dollar :

1 nickel = $ 0.05, 1 dime = $ 0.10 and 1 quarter = $0.25.

Then, according to the given information, we have

$x+y+z=20\\\\\Rightarrow x=20-y-z~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)\\\\0.05x+0.10y+0.25z=3.35\\\\\Rightarrow 5x+10y+25z=335\\\\\Rightarrow x+2y+5z=67~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)\\\\0.05y+0.25x+0.10z=2.75\\\\\Rightarrow 5y+25x+10z=275\\\\\Rightarrow y+2z+5x=55~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(iii)$

Substituting the value of x from equation (i) in equations (ii) and (iii), we have

$(20-y-z)+2y+5z=67\\\\\Rightarrow y+4z=47\\\\\Rightarrow y=47-4z~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(iv)$

and

$y+2z+5(20-y-z)=55\\\\\Rightarrow -4y-3z=-45\\\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{45-3z}{4}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(v)$

Comparing the values of y from equations (iv) and (v), we get

$47-4z=\dfrac{45-3z}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow 188-16z=45-3z\\\\\Rightarrow 16z-3z=188-45\\\\\Rightarrow 13z=143\\\\\Rightarrow z=\dfrac{143}{13}\\\\\Rightarrow z=11.$

Thus, the required number of quarters in the collection is 11.
